Biography

Alexandre Shen, born 1970, obtained his engineer’s degree from the Institute of Optics Graduate School, Orsay, in 1994 and received his Ph.D from the University of Paris XI, Orsay, in 1998. His Ph.D work was on gain-switched or Q-switched multi-section laser diodes including a saturable absorber section. He was hired by Alcatel Alsthom Recherche in 1998 to work on InP-based electro-absorption modulator and Mach-Zehnder modulators. Then with Alcatel-CIT Research and Innovation, he worked on high speed saturable absorbers. Since 2006, with III-V Lab, he has been involved in quantum dash based mode-locked frequency comb sources for coherent WDM applications or injection locked laser diodes for access applications. Since 2009 he focused his research on PICs (Photonic Integrated Circuit), either on InP or on Si. He’s been a member of Alcatel-Lucent Technical Academy since 2001. He is author or co-author of more than 100 peer reviewed research papers (in conference or in journal) and of 16 published patents. He served in the technical committee n°8 for the OFC conference from 2008 to 2010. He led the ANR ASTERIX and TONICS projects, and has participated in numerous other ANR or European projects.
